Water Supply Hook-up

[pinstriper]

If you connect to city water, a pressure regulator is a must. Unless you like leaks inside your camper from broken connections, in which case, never mind, just go for it.

The water supply is standard garden hose thread. You don't use a garden hose. You use a garden hose that's rated for fresh/potable water, usually but not always white in color. Note that connecting to city water does NOT fill your fresh water tank - that's the tank that you need the pump on for. You don't turn on the pump when connected to city water. The fresh tank gets filled via that hole right next to the city water hose connection. You just pour water in the hole, although there are special doo-dads that go on the end of your hose and stick down the hole so you don't spill any while standing there running the water in.

Will you always be camping at sites that have a water connection? If not, you'll be using your water tank and pump and as pinstriper noted, the water tank and pump system is separate from the city water connection and needs to stay that way. On you drain idea, I suppose you could run a line outside to a tank, but most campgrounds (all?) don't allow dumping of greywater tanks on the ground. So, you'll need to get a tank you can drag to the dump station and with fittings for the drain there. For fittings, we have a Water Bandit that allows for attaching a hose to odd fixtures. It's only for temporary use for convenience.
